Noyes - Ephesians - 6

6:1  Children, obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right.

6:2  "Honor thy father and mother;" which is the first commandment with a promise;

6:3  "that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst live long on the earth."

6:4  And, ye fathers, stir not up the anger of your children, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

6:5  Bond-servants, obey your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as serving Christ;

6:6  not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as bond-servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

6:7  doing service with good will, as to the Lord, and not to men;

6:8  knowing that whatever good each one shall have done, that shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be bondman or free.

6:9  And, ye masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening; knowing that both they and you have a Master in heaven, and that there is no respect of persons with him.

6:10  Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

6:11  Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil;

6:12  for our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of evil in the heavenly regions.

6:13  Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

6:14  Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breast-plate of righteousness,

6:15  and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

6:16  taking up, in addition to all, the shield of faith, by which ye will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the Evil One;

6:17  and receive the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

6:18  praying with all prayer and entreaty at all times in the Spirit; and watching to this end with all perseverance and entreaty for all the saints,

6:19  and for me, that utterance may be given me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

6:20  in behalf of which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may proclaim it boldly, as I ought to speak.

6:21  But that ye also may know about me, how I am faring, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will inform you of everything;

6:22  whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that ye may know about us, and that he may comfort your hearts.

6:23  Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

6:24  Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an incorruptible love.
